The connection with Brunner could benefit the Red Wings once the NHL's work stoppage ends.
A number of NHL teams showed interest in the 26-year-old Brunner over the summer after he was named Swiss league MVP last season. Highly skilled and lightning fast -- "He ends up getting a lot of breakaways," said Shedden -- he signed with the Red Wings on July 1 and stayed at Zetterberg's house when he visited Detroit.
"In talking to Zetterberg, he likes him and thinks he should be able to play (in the NHL)," said Shedden.
